Are you attending ALA for the first time and wondering what to do and see and what it’s all about? Come to the NMRT Orientation program for introductions to ALA-APA, the conference and Seattle. Hear the presidents of ALA and NMRT talk about the organizations. Learn about the various divisions of ALA from their representatives. Get literature about ALA and NMRT divisions, roundtables and committees. Meet other new conference goers and have some fun!<br><br>

Leaders, creative thinkers, team players, problem solvers ... ALCTS volunteers are these and so much more! If you want to grow professionally and network with colleagues focussed on the critical issues facing librarianship, plan to attend the fourth annual ALCTS Volunteer Forum. Sponsored by the ALCTS Leadership Development Committee, the forum will be held on Saturday, January 20, 10:30am-12:00pm, during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. This is your chance to hear about the committee appointment process and opportunities for involvement from the division appointing officers. The presenters include the ALCTS President and President-Elect and the Chairs-Elect of the Acquisitions, Cataloging and Classification, Collection Management and Development, Preservation and Reformatting, and Serials Sections and the Council of Regional Groups as well as the ANO Editor. The volunteer application is available online at [http://www.ala.org/ala/alcts/alctsmanual/alctsforms/volunteerform.htm http://www.ala.org/ala/alcts/alctsmanual/alctsforms/volunteerform.htm].<br><br>

Want to get involved in the Reference and User Services Association? Stop by the RUSA Volunteer Forum and meet current officers. They'll take the mystery out of the appointment process, and tell you all you want to know about the activities and committees that make up this great division! Refreshments will be served.<br><br>
